Jack: A Life of C.S. Lewis
by George Sayer
by George Sayer
I liked the latter half of this better than the first. This biography was well done and it felt like it was written with love and respect for C. S. Lewis.
The first half dealt with his childhood and his entrance into the adult world. C.S. Lewis, aka Jack, had some difficult things to endure. I've heard that he is the most oft quoted person in Christian religions. So I was kind of surprised to hear that he actually walked away from religion because of some things he was dealing with. But he came back later in adulthood and wrote some amazing things.
I liked the way the author presented the material in latter half. He went over what Jack was going through when writing specific books. It was well done. It made me want to go back and reread some of his books that I haven't touched in years.
